It's all just for show. WBD doesn't have a leg to stand on. I helped work on a $1.5 billion bid package about fifteen years ago (not for the NBA) and it was rejected because a clueless executive missed signing one section that was required in a part of the proposal. Our proposal was only within $100,000 of the winning bid.... And we almost sued, but the company lawyers said good luck with that. I jumped ship and ended up working for the winning company instead, so I guess it worked out for me in the end.

Disney/ABC will probably not even give a fat Mickey rat's behind about this and it will definitely blow over in a few days. Management will probably meet with Holmes & Robach and tell them to keep it professional in office and on air & that's it. (I actually think GMA3 should be renamed "GMA3: Holmes & Robach" now that I type that out... it has a nice ring to it. lol) The Mouse won't make a public statement because they won't want to draw more attention to it. People will forget about it within a week; the everyday news cycle will bury it.

I like everything about these changes; when do we get a new anchor to go with all of this?

Will Heryford, KCRA photojournalist of 42 years has passed away unexpectedly. A great photographer and a great storyteller. RIP. https://www.kcra.com/article/kcrakqca-staff-remember-photojournalist-will-heryford/38176127

Some May 1987 KOVR 13 NEWS promos (8:55) with anchor Dan Gray supposedly explaining why he moved to California and KOVR's GM Ed Pfeiffer asking viewers for feedback on how to make the then ABC affiliate better station. I remember seeing these when KOVR originally aired them way back when 34 years ago and thinking to myself "This will never work". This look didn't last long at KOVR... Neither did Dan Gray. Although I think Gray was a pretty good catch for them though. I still think he and Jennifer Whitney might've been able to right the ship there at KOVR a little bit if they were given some more time. P.S. And a brief Rush Limbaugh cameo on the right @ 9:31.

This is totally true. Here we are in an era where we now have access to screens that have huge capabilities for resolution, gradients, color, etc. and designers these days are flattening everything out for some bizarre reason. They're not using the medium to it's fullest potential. It seems like most station groups are falling victim to the blue banner/white letter syndrome. I'm not saying for designers to make things look gaudy; I'm saying there needs to be more creativity to differentiate stations/station groups. Stations need to have more of an individual "visual personality".

That third line seems kind of redundant and overkill.... get rid of it. On the second line, "CA GOV SURVIVES RECALL" would've been just fine. I don't understand why these shows make more work for themselves. lol

Soooo... I tried watching NewsNation tonight for the second time in it's whole existence, and here's what greeted me: I immediately turned it off.

The last bullet in this slide is the biggest BS.... This change is not going increase the legibility at smaller scales; it will most likely make it worse. That smaller gap in the letter c will be an issue.

Looks like they've updated it to 1974 for the thumbnail.

Some KCRA footage from what looks like the late '70s (I don't think the year 1982 is correct) showing off their transition to tape and live microwave technology. I love how Bob Whitten is showing off the LiveCamera 3 van and it's microwave equipment... but it looks like its not even installed yet.

I figured it would only be a matter of time.

I'll give it six more months or so. If it hasn't picked up any sizable traction by Septemberish, it might be gone a month or two after that. And with COVID restrictions probably loosening up even more by summer, people are going to want to do other things instead of sitting at home & watching TV. Especially news... and especially a new news network with a weak lineup... in a slow news cycle.

Just some observations... Looks like KSDK & KMOV are done with N6TY & their chopper agreement: https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/columns/joe-holleman/ksdk-kmov-shut-down-shared-helicopter/article_ee39336a-5bee-5642-a348-13fe27a0ba44.html KCRA Sacramento has been using N75TV for a little bit.
